    nForce4 Ultra, X2 and USB2

    Yes, the problem is positively reproducible with both cores running and absolutely non-existent with only one core running. With no high-speed USB ("USB2") peripherals mounted, the thing is solid as a rock, even with a mild overclock (10% CPU and 5% GPU). A Shuttle tech (linuxnutbox) has been...

    nForce4 Ultra, X2 and USB2

    2 x 1GB DDR400. Yes, I've tried running with just one. Even tried with just one disk drive. Memory is timed at 3-3-3-8-1 per Kingston datasheet. All other timings are bone stock as well, no over clocking. Tried lowering multiplier to get core speeds of 2.0 and 1.8 GHz to no avail. Tried bumping...

    nForce4 Ultra, X2 and USB2

    Fair enough. Here's what I sent to Shuttle: Frequent system hangs or crashes to black screen in dual-core mode (no BSOD, event logs or crashdumps). Only external indication is Link and Power LED's on wireless-G device turn off. Wireless keyboard/mouse USB receiver LED still shows activity when...

    nForce4 Ultra, X2 and USB2

    Guys, thanks for the replies. There are several of us with similar problems that have been comparing notes in another forum. We've all done extensive, recursive troubleshooting with up-to-date drivers, BIOS, etc. (and back-reving too) and have open cases with Shuttle tech support. What sparked...

    nForce4 Ultra, X2 and USB2

    Anybody running an Athlon 64 X2 with the nForce4 Ultra chipset in a non-Shuttle XPC? If yes, are you having any USB problems, especially with USB2 high-speed devices? I'm running a Shuttle SN25P with a 4400+. If I busy out the USB I get freezes. If I boot into single-core mode (/onecpu in...

    Low Sandra HD scores

    Oh, the drive is the only thing on that channel. The DVD and CDRW are on the secondary channel. At one time I was getting scores in-between ATA66 and ATA100 but now, they are lower than ATA66.

    Low Sandra HD scores

    Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware of that. It still bites though.........you buy something that says what it says and then you learn otherwise.

    Low Sandra HD scores

    I'm running a W2kpro/98 machine on an MSIk7tpro2a mobo, I'm using a WD40gig ATA100/7200rpm drive also using SP2 (no problems yet:) and the VIA431 drivers on both OS's. The problem is that in Sandra Sisoft during the HD benchmark my score is lower than a ata66 drive and thats on both OS's. The...

    leadtek gf2-gts chrontel tv out and drivers

    I have the same card and I'm using the 6.50 drivers and the TV out works ok. The only problem I have is that when I go to TV mode I loose my monitor picture, I can only one or the other.

    low ata66 scores in sisoft sandra

    I have a WD 18 ata/66 7200 hd on my machine, the board I'm using is an MSI k7t pro2a mobo. The bios see's the drive as a ata/66 hd and DMA is checked in WinME. The question is that in Sisoft Sandra benchmarks in the Drive rating scores the standard score for an ata/66 drive is 16,000 but my...

    p3/667e as fast as a t-bird 900?

    I downloaded the latest bios for my MSI board, I was going to do the beta bios but I decided not to in case it got worse. It's funny but I've tried disabling the fast right and fast read and it gets a little better but not by alot. The 6.71 drivers seem to do pretty good and it stops the...
